Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 492 Entrustment
The body of 'Dragon King' Platon Sanks was as majestic as a mountain, covered by broad wings, and he was curled up.

Without flapping his wings, he floated quietly in the air, like a sleeping ancient monument.

With that earlier deep greeting, the curled-up body slowly stretched out, and the dragon wings that blotted out the sky parted the clouds.

Platon Sanx gradually descended from the sky and landed on the ground, his terrifying size becoming even more apparent to Bai Shi.

So much so that when the Dragon King fully unfolded his form, Bai Shi had to take a few steps back to see his full appearance.

Previously, the size of the Mad Dragon Beile had already greatly shocked Bai Shi, who thought it was the most terrifying beast in the border region.

But upon seeing him now, it becomes clear that the Dragon King, who is not known for his physique, is actually about the same size as Beile.

If I had to say something, it would be that Gu Long's physique made him appear more streamlined, but it was completely unrelated to the slender build that was not good at fighting.

Platon Sanx did not raise his head arrogantly, but instead leaned in amicably toward Bai Shi, so that the two kings of ancient and modern times could communicate.

His breath, carrying thunderclouds, transformed into a gentle breeze just in time to touch Bai Shi.

Sensing the Dragon King's goodwill, Bai Shi smiled and responded in a friendly manner:
"The King of Elden before the Golden Tree Era, the esteemed King of Ancient Dragons..."

"Being able to see the legend in person fills me with immense joy."

The Dragon King looked at Bai Shi, whose strength was impossible to conceal, and his eyes showed no restraint in his praise.

"I share the same joy."

"I have heard of your achievements and great deeds; it is an unimaginable path to becoming king."

"To grow stronger in a short period of time and sweep away all powerful enemies..."

"And the brevity of this time is even more shocking to us Gu Long."

While admiring Bai Shi's great achievements, Platon Sanx looked at his figure with deep emotion.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in his dragon eyes as he continued:
“In the past, I once met the king of the golden tree.”

"He was equally powerful, and eventually fought his way up to become the King of Elden..."

"But you are stronger than him and have done things that he could not do."

"He defeated the mad dragon on that spiked mountain, even when he was at his peak."

"This is a great achievement worthy of being engraved in rock and forever revered."

Bai Shi smiled gently and responded calmly:
“I had long heard of Baylor’s abilities.”

"The thought of fighting against such an opponent makes even me feel excited."

"And the fact surprised me. I still remember the battle with Baylor to this day."

"Besides, I am, after all, Celine Sands's master."

"Since she desires revenge against that despicable enemy, I will naturally grant her wish."

Seeing Bai Shi so relaxed and carefree, Platon Sanks nodded silently.

Killing a prince in his prime was something he had never done before.

But Bai Shi did it easily, freeing him from eternal restraint.

Moreover, judging from the process recounted by Fritz Sanx, it was indeed as easy as he described.

This fact even left Platon Sanx somewhat dazed.

Even the mad dragon, which he found troublesome, was merely a casual act by the other party to fulfill the wishes of his follower.

This human king's strength has become so terrifying that even he can hardly match it.

Only when you reach his level can you realize that although the two seem to be at the same level, they are actually worlds apart.

In fact, the moment Platon Sanx saw Bai Shi, something inexplicably surfaced before his eyes.

He has spent so long in the rift of time and space, and has experience spanning the history of the border regions, possessing unparalleled wisdom.

When Platon Sanx met Bai Shi, he immediately recognized the radiance within him.

That was a light that was much more distant than reality.

It is a light sufficient to illuminate the entire border region and bring warmth to all things in the world.

Under Bai Shi's leadership, the border region will surely usher in an unprecedented era of glory.

Therefore, after realizing this, Platon Sanks decided on his attitude towards Bai Shi...

Coming to his senses, Platonssonx flapped his giant wings slightly and extended a claw to grasp the void.

Within the storm's fissures, crackling with crimson lightning, a massive, blindingly sharp rock sword slowly emerged.

The Dragon King Rock Sword, a stone-shard sword imbued with primordial lightning, is Platons' weapon.

When the weapon appeared out of thin air, the man and the two dragons present were all surprised.

Bai Shi glanced sideways, pondering the other party's actions.

Why did 'Dragon King' Platon Sanks draw his weapon at this moment?
Before Bai Shi could come up with a reasonable answer, he saw Platon Sanks grip the hilt of his sword, and a tremendous amount of power began to gather.

Under that immense power, the Dragon King Rock Sword slowly shrank according to his will, eventually becoming small enough for a human to wield.

Extending his claws, Platon Sanks offered the tiny rock sword in his palm to Bai Shi.

"I hope to entrust this weapon to you."

Furious's pupils suddenly contracted, and she gaped in surprise.

Her gaze shifted back and forth between Bai Shi and the Dragon King, her heart overflowing with unspoken words.

However, considering the solemnity of the conversation between the two kings, she ultimately swallowed all her words with mixed feelings.

Celine Sanders was equally surprised, but she didn't react much.

Because in her heart, her master fully deserved such treatment.

Bai Shi was slightly taken aback and even a little confused by the fact that the Dragon King had suddenly given him equipment.

Seeing that Bai Shi did not pick up his rock sword, the Dragon King continued:
"This weapon is probably only barely usable for someone like you."

"But rather than following me and being forever trapped in the storm, it probably prefers to continue fighting."

"Weapons should be like this, shining on the battlefield, not sinking with me."

Bai Shi listened to the Dragon King's words, fearing that the other party would think he looked down on it, and hurriedly and solemnly accepted the powerful weapon.

Since Platons was essentially giving away equipment, Bai Shi had no reason to refuse and immediately replied:

"No, I can feel the power and antiquity of this weapon."

"Even in my own hands, there are few weapons that can compare to it."

"Just by holding it, you can feel the ancient and long conquest."

"I will make it shine on the battlefield again, and I will never fail the Dragon King's reputation."

Bai Shi earnestly accepted the Dragon King Rock Sword, but the Dragon King's wishes did not end there.

Platon Sanks nodded and continued speaking to Bai Shi:
"With this weapon in hand, all the ancient dragons on the borderlands will obey your call."

"Not only weapons, but also symbols of authority."

"All the treasures of Fam Azra, even the city itself and the ancient dragons, are now under your rule."

If the previous gifts only shocked Frye Sanx, the arrangement at this moment moved even Celine Sanx.

All the ancient dragons knew what these words meant and represented. In other words, Bai Shi could now be considered the new master of Fam Azra.

On the surface, Bai Shi remained calm, but in his heart, he was equally surprised by the Dragon King's generosity.

Before this meeting, Bai Shi had considered many possibilities.

The situation was developing amicably exactly as he had imagined, but the fact that the Dragon King was now spending all his possessions as if they were free was something Bai Shi had never considered.

Judging from the Dragon King's demeanor, it was almost as if he had entrusted the ancient dragons and Fam Azra entirely to him...

Bai Shi realized this belatedly, and suddenly it dawned on him.

It seems that the Dragon King did this in order to have complete legitimacy to take over Fam Azra, the territory that originally belonged to the ancient dragons.

The Dragon King must have already made plans and was unwilling to see this magnificent Sky City fall into ruin.

However, he was still recovering from serious injuries and had not yet found anyone worthy of entrusting his affairs to.

Although the Golden Tree Dynasty turned from enemies to friends with the ancient dragons, their power was not enough to change everything.

In the eyes of Platon Sanx, the ancient King of Elden, they probably did not yet have the capacity to bear this history.

As for the Dragon King himself, even if his injuries begin to heal, he will probably continue to wait for his god.

Bai Shi understood what Platon Sanks meant and solemnly nodded in acceptance.

At the same time, he also made a promise to Platon Sanx, the old dragon king:

"This choice will not disappoint you."

“I swear, I will bring Fam Yazra back to his former glory, or even further.”

A smile finally appeared in Platon Sanx's eyes, and he was completely relieved.
-
Bai Shi and Celine Sands did not linger for long.

After a friendly exchange with the Dragon King, Bai Shi finally obtained everything he wanted to know.

Regarding the history of the border region, the Dragon King is undoubtedly the best answerer.

Even after the master and servant left, the altar did not return to silence.

Freyssanks paced back and forth, occasionally looking up at Platonssanks' imposing figure, but he couldn't bring himself to speak for a long time.

She acknowledged that Bai Shi was a great king, and held him in high esteem...

But isn't their ancient dragon king right here right now, and the situation is getting better and better?

In this situation, is it really necessary for Lord Dragon King to entrust everything of the Ancient Dragon to Lord Bai Shi?

Seemingly sensing Furyus's confusion, the Dragon King looked at her, thought for a moment, and decided to explain.

He was the king of the ancient dragons, and he treated all of them like children.

"Freshmans..."

Upon hearing the Dragon King call his name, Furious immediately calmed down, stood up straight, and awaited his instructions.

With a soft sigh, Platon Sanks spoke gently and slowly:
I know you have a lot to say.

"Don't worry, just ask any questions you have."

Furious had been by the Dragon King's side in the past and knew his fatherly gentleness and love, so she no longer held back.

"Yes... I still don't understand."

"Why should Fam Azra be completely handed over to the king of mankind?"

"No matter what kind of treasure it is, or even your weapon, I would not be so confused. I only think it is your expectation of Lord Bai Shi."

“But…Fam Yazra is, after all, our homeland.”

"That lord is a very benevolent king, and all races can live in peace under his rule."

“In a peaceful future, we can rebuild Fam Yazra ourselves.”

After listening to what Fritz Sanks said, Platon Sanks shook his head and said with great emotion:

"Yes, our hometown..."

"It is precisely because the lifespan of the ancient dragons is almost eternal that this place, which holds beautiful memories, is even more precious."

"But I can no longer protect it for you."

When Furyusanks heard Platonsanks' words, he was stunned and stood there.

Coming to her senses, she disregarded her words and manners and hurriedly asked:
"This...! This!"

"I don't quite understand what you're saying!"

Platonsanks sighed and explained directly to Frousanks:

"I will not go back, not even after I have recovered."

“I will continue to wait for Him, hoping that one day I can meet Him again.”

"However, I also hope that you will have a better future."

“If I hand over Fam Yazra to him, then I will never have to worry about anything again.”

"...I may return to Fam Yazra from time to time, but I will no longer be able to lead you."

"Because in this world, there can only be one king."

Platon Sanks gazed in the direction Bai Shi had left, and said softly:

"Indeed, given that king's benevolence, he would probably consider this place as the ancient dragons' private domain."

"However, for any king, the regions allocated to foreign tribes and the regions that he completely rules are two completely different concepts."

"Besides, the situation of the ancient dragons is different from that of other races—I, their king, am still alive."

"It is the best choice for both of us to speak first."

“He may not want it, but I have to give it to him; it’s a matter of making a statement.”

Platon Sanx sighed softly.

After seeing that light, he completely trusted Bai Shi.

However, this is not just a matter between the top players; various other factors need to be considered.

All races yearn for a perfect king, a king full of glory.

Such acts of plunder are ultimately incompatible with that glory.

His departure, entrusting the ancient dragons to Bai Shi, undoubtedly avoided these problems.

In any case, Platon Sanx had already made up his mind to stay in the cracks of the storm and wait for his god.

Since Bai Shi was able to become such a king, Platon Sanks was naturally willing to pave the way for him.

The best ending is when two kings don't meet.

Furyusan lowered her head in shame, realizing the Dragon King's deep thinking and far-sightedness.

However, she may need some more time to adjust to the future.

However, everything is moving in a positive direction, which is good, isn't it?
